There were 28 victims in the area of 1887 N. West Ave., police said. The incidents were committed between 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday, according to a statement by police. A couple of the tire slashing victims were residents on Marigold Street in Little Flower Mobile Home Park. They were changing their tires Friday morning, but declined to talk to a reporter.

The boys, two age 14 and one age 15, were charged with criminal mischief, possession of a weapon, unlawful possession of a weapon and theft. They are accused of using knives to puncture the tires and a pool liner, police said.

Police arrested the boys after information from numerous victims and witnesses led them to the home of one of the juveniles. Two bicycles and two knives were recovered, police said.

One 14-year-old boy was sent to the Cumberland County Juvenile Detention Center in Bridgeton. The other juveniles were released into the custody of their parents.
